Symbolism
The argent and azure colors represent Greece and the paternal line of Pantelis Kassotis, while the three maple leaves represent his maternal line and the fact that he’s a third generation Canadian citizen. The mountain and waves represent the lakes and mountains of Canada while the dolphin supporters represent Greece and the Aegean sea.
The mountain crest contains a dual meaning. It represents the struggles of life and the dawning sun behind it represents hope. A beacon of light that shines away the darkness of night. It symbolizes the struggles that brought his family to Canada and the hope that came with their journey.
The motto "A Mari Usque Ad Mare " means "From Sea to Sea". As a Canadian citizen, Pantelis chose the official motto of Canada for his arms because it represents his connection to both Greece and Canada and encapsulates his family history (from sea to sea).
